Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

With this, the greatness of this means as compared

to the other means that have been given up, is told.

 

What is that greatness?

 

Those dharmas have to be performed by the chetana.

Therefore they realize their nature only through the

chetana's effort. As this means is eternal, it is

already accomplished. They are of the form of

knowledge and effort. This one is distinguished and

of supreme power. Because they are due to the effort

of the chetana, they are fraught with danger. Since

this is an accomplished means, it has no danger.

Those means are not appropriate to the nature of the

chetana. This one is most appropriate. They are

dependent on each other. This is independent of

anything.

 

Since the other means are due to the effort of the

chetana, they are attached to him for their

existence. As they do not have the knowledge of

what they need to do for the chetana nor do they

have the power to do it, they are dependent on the

Lord to complete their task. But this means is

opposite to those means, is complete and full of

power. Therefore, it is not dependent on anything.
